11:56 AM lcnc-relay: <roguish> low of 35 this morning...
05:11 PM JT-Machine-Shop: hmm my bc sub is not drilling past z0 for some reason yet to be discovered
05:13 PM Tom_L: huh
05:14 PM Tom_L: using machine coords or G54?
05:14 PM JT-Machine-Shop: #1019 -0.250
05:14 PM JT-Machine-Shop: G81 Z#1019 R#1018
05:15 PM Tom_L: where does it start? from the retract point or another specified start level?
05:15 PM JT-Machine-Shop: G0 Z#1018 ; go to Z Clear Return Point
05:15 PM JT-Machine-Shop: hmm that might be the issue
05:15 PM Tom_L: add that in the distance
05:16 PM JT-Machine-Shop: ah yea because of G91
05:16 PM Tom_L: ahh ok
05:16 PM Tom_L: i switch back and forth on those in some subs
05:17 PM Tom_L: i had everything working then i did a Y view and found out it was adding the level and each pass was higher than the last
05:17 PM Tom_L: so switching modes fixed that
05:18 PM Tom_L: you might check for that too
05:18 PM JT-Machine-Shop: so if z depth is positive and clear return is positive add together and us Z-#somenumber
05:18 PM Tom_L: pretty sure
05:18 PM JT-Machine-Shop: the level stays the same for all holes
05:18 PM Tom_L: i'd have to pull mine up and look now
05:19 PM Tom_L: but i have comments on just about every line
05:21 PM Tom_L: mine would be a little different now since i'm doing it all in the loop
05:22 PM Tom_L: are you on discord or matrix on your phone?
05:23 PM Tom_L: web app? ....element?
05:23 PM JT-Machine-Shop: my phone is element
05:23 PM Tom_L: is that with matrix?
05:23 PM JT-Machine-Shop: I'd rather have just an irc thing
05:23 PM JT-Machine-Shop: no clue
05:24 PM Tom_L: i might set that up as a backup
05:24 PM xxcoder: yah its matrix. jt has no @ when talking from phone :)
05:24 PM Tom_L: that irc client still works on mine but i did a phone transfer
05:28 PM Tom_itx: https://github.com/MCMrARM/revolution-irc/releases
05:29 PM Tom_L: you could try installing from there
05:29 PM Tom_L: it's not a playstore app anymore that i can find
05:31 PM Tom_L: i can't tell what version mine is
05:31 PM JT-Machine-Shop: If the current
05:31 PM JT-Machine-Shop: Z position is below the R position, the Z axis does a rapid move to the R position
05:32 PM JT-Machine-Shop: I think that's my issue
05:32 PM Tom_L: yeah sounds like it might be
05:32 PM Tom_L: i may have ended up just using the R value on that op
05:32 PM Tom_L: i'd have to look
05:34 PM Tom_L: you could also try CoreIRC
05:35 PM Tom_L: someone picked revolution and coreirc as their top pics
05:35 PM Tom_L: not free... :(
05:36 PM Tom_L: looks like there might be a free version
05:40 PM Tom_L: android installable files are .apk (Android Package Kit)
05:41 PM Tom_itx: https://f-droid.org/en/packages/io.mrarm.irc/
05:41 PM Tom_itx: if you care to try it
05:42 PM Tom_itx: that 0.5.5 is the latest i can find
05:47 PM JT-Machine-Shop: looks like g91 is killing me
05:48 PM Tom_L: i switch back and forth religiously when needed
05:48 PM JT-Machine-Shop: that's gotta be my issue
05:48 PM Tom_L: is that for the actual drill cycle/
05:49 PM Tom_L: ?
05:50 PM Tom_L: yeah i'm using G90 on the drill cycles
05:50 PM Tom_L: and G91 to move to the next hole
05:52 PM JT-Machine-Shop: I'll have to look at yours again in the morning
05:53 PM Tom_L: i can paste it
05:53 PM Tom_dev: https://paste.debian.net/1364089/
05:54 PM JT-Machine-Shop: same as in the flex example?
05:55 PM Tom_L: should be yes
05:55 PM Tom_L: it's in my test directory and that's where i push to flex from
05:55 PM Tom_itx: To install an APK file on your Android device, first, ensure you've enabled "Install unknown apps" or "Install from unknown sources" in your device's settings, then locate the APK file using your file manager and tap on it to initiate the installation process
05:56 PM Tom_L: if you get froggy and wanna try that irc client
05:56 PM JT-Machine-Shop: about to call it a day
05:56 PM Tom_L: me too
05:56 PM Tom_L: they probably got removed from the app store due to inactivity
06:02 PM JT-Machine-Shop: going to attempt to convert the grinder mixer motor and the grinder motor the next two days
06:04 PM Tom_L: i have confidence
06:26 PM Tom_L: i tried installing the .apk file from that site on my old phone and it tried but found the other version and stopped
06:28 PM Tom_L: sorta like when you install lcnc from the repo, update it from a deb then try to update from the repo again.. doens't work that way
06:31 PM Tom_L: anyway, i saved a copy of it in case i ever need it
